The material of mortise locks?
The Mortise lock is installed on the inside of the door frame and is the part that determines the durability of a set of locks. The type of material used for a mortise lock will depend on factors such as the intended use, the desired level of security, and the overall aesthetic of the lock. Mortise lock is made of metal or metal alloy, common materials are stainless steel and brass, and other hard materials with high durability and high precision. Stainless steel mortise locks are usually used for long-term fire-rated doors. SDH’s mortise locks have CE marks and fire ratings. The lock body can keep the surface smooth for a long time, not easy to rust and is wear-resistant, these two characteristics greatly improve the service life of the mortise lock. Euro mortise lock can also maintain long-term lubrication, which is convenient for you to open and close the door and can bring you a high degree of safety and aesthetics.
Specifically, Deadbolt, Latchbolt, forend and strike plate are made of SUS304; Lock case: Steel galvanized with blue coating is the best choice.

The various parts of the lock are then assembled. This typically involves putting the lock body, faceplate, and other components together in a specific order, using screws, springs, and other fasteners to hold them in place.
Once the lock has been assembled, it is tested to ensure that it operates smoothly and securely. Any necessary adjustments are made at this stage.
